Art Jansen’s Celtic Cross and Carved Wooden Chain, along with Ida Liffengren Jansen’s painting “Life References.” are shown below. Art notes that Christ was a carpenter and woodworker, too. “As a carpenter, he needed faith in his ability and his recognition of finished product before he laid a tool to the wood. To me, faith is not knowing, but believing. I look at a piece of wood and imagine what it could become.” Perhaps like God looks at him. Art says that while some of his masterpieces turn out to be “decorative firewood” with faith, he continues to whittle.
